I would like to see a newer version of hplip in stable too, as current stable is way to old and causes issues because it still needs Qt3. Unfortunately we need >=net-print/cups-1.4.0 for the static ppds USE-flag which is not stable yet. As a workaround we could remove this dependency and just depend on net-print/cupsddk, but I don't think this is the way to go. You can open a stable request bug for cups-1.4.2-r1 and make this bug depend on it.
But, hplip is depending on: ( || ( >=net-print/cups-1.4.0 net-print/cupsddk ) ) then, I guess, portage would choose cupsddk instead of updating cups if it's not stable or, at least, seems that it's what portage is doing in my case (I still have cups-1.3*)

I am not 100% sure but you can test it, as I currently can not. If this holds true all possible dependencies have to be stable before the package can go stable.
In my case it simply tries to install cupssdk: # emerge -pv hplip These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

CC'ing arch-teams, as this should work. Also this has been done in the same way for net-print/splix-1.1.1 which is stable and has the same dependency.
amd64 stable
Marked ppc/ppc64 stable.
x86 stable, closing
